Nearly Ninety Flights Associated to Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airports
An investigation has uncovered that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left UK airfields, with some allegedly carrying British women who claim they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Trail of Movement
The flight logs were part of a trove of legal papers and papers released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the past year. The review found 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unidentified women were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” said US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has never been contacted by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They commented, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of papers are expected to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
